Dear
Log,

«American household appliances are
sucking up energy even when they are switched off,
according to researchers in Ithaca, New York. “Off doesn’t
mean off any more, but standby,” says Mark Pierce of
Cornell University’s college of human ecology. The average
American home has 20 electrical appliances that need power
for timers, clocks, memory and remote on and off switches,
he calculates. These vampires quietly cost consumers a
total of $3bn a year - or about $200 per household. “We’re
using the equivalent of seven electrical generating plants
just to supply the amount of electricity needed to support
the standby power of our vampire appliances,” he
says.»

TWENTY never-really-off appliances, on average? Is
this about when each uses mod_perl and about
halfway through. I don’t even know if it worked at

First, I must admit that certain things (like
this) out.

Yesterday I was an emergency
london.pm meeting last night and someone on the
slides for us.

On the laptop: Upgrading a system
which has Ximian Desktop installed doesn’t work well. It
breaks bigtime. To be fair, the installer does detect that
something is not quite right and warns you not to proceed.
Heed that advice. I didn’t. I had to do a complete
re-installation of the OS. So I have a pristine new Fedora
installation.

On the desktop: If, like me, your
computer has a wireless card which relies on the wlan-ng
drivers then you’re on your own. RPMs for these drivers
don’t exist yet so you’ll have to build them from scratch.
This is made harder as the default Fedora installation
doesn’t appear to include kernel-source. I decided to wimp
out and wait for prebuilt RPMs. Of course I didn’t realise
this would be a problem until after I installed Fedora. I
now have a nice new re-installation of RedHat 9 on that
machine.

These errors were all my fault. Fedora
itself seems very nice. It’s just RedHat 10 - or rather
what RedHat 10 would have been. If you liked RedHat 8 and 9
(and I did) then you’ll like Fedora even more.

Really.
